Traveling around Costa Rica one can find vendors such as our talented friend (who asked that his name not be shared) who has 20 years experience creating glass figures.

This glass sculpture artist learned the art from his father and has since spent 20 years perfecting his skills. His creations are largely influenced by the local wildlife as they are things he, "sees and appreciates everday." This artist spends time to make every detail as perfect as can be and strives to go beyond cheap trinkets to creating actual works of art.

The country has numerous talented artists like our glass man in all regions making it easy to find unique mementos and gifts for the folks who wish they could've been there with you.
